β¦ Synopsis
Bismuth titanate with the pyrochlore structure has been prepared for the first time. This phase does not exist in the Bi 2 O 3 /TiO 2 equilibrium phase diagram, but has now been prepared by a low-temperature synthesis route with a final calcination temperature of 600Β°C. Structural analysis of pyrochlore bismuth titanate was performed using both synchrotron X-ray and neutron powder diffraction data. The cubic cell edge is 10.357 A s , and the composition based on the refinement of the structure is Bi 1.74 Ti 2 O 6.62 . The Bi 3Ψ cations are displaced off the three-fold axis by 0.38 A s in a disordered manner.
